Long Live the Web: A Call for Continued Open Standards and Neutrality: Scientific American http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=long-live-the-web Yet people seem to think the Web is some sort of piece of nature, and if it starts to wither, well, that’s just one of those unfortunate things we can’t help.

Using YouTube's new automated copright detection technology, Warner Brothers detected last month that 15 year old Juliet Weybret had posted a video of herself playing the piano and singing the 1934 song Winter Wonderland .
